The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 75

The old carpenter is very motivated.

It took nearly a month before to make the waterwheel according to the drawings of the princess. The princess rewarded him with 20 taels of silver.

The concubine also said that all the counties and counties in Nanman had to install water trucks one after another, so that he could do it when he had time.Because these are not jobs in the mansion, he will be paid separately.

The same is true for the candy molds today. Once a batch is completed, there will be a silver reward. This makes the old carpenter feel like a second spring, and he is full of joy.

He learned carpentry when he was young, but he didn't realize the benefits of knowing a craft until now.

When I was excited, I searched for a few pieces of wood that day, and took the little guy to chip the wood to make a model.

After the first batch of brown sugar bricks cooled down, they were removed from the mold. They were round and round, with auspicious characters such as Fu Lu Shou or beautiful flower patterns printed on the surface.

Without knowing it, I thought it was a piece of pastry.

Xu Yin was in a good mood, put it on a plate, and brought it to the study in the front yard, hoping to find someone to share the joy with.

Yan Kejin didn't go out today, and since his father asked him to recommend the sheriffs of Baiyue and Minyue counties, he would not be polite.

I sneaked in to draft a memorial, and asked for two right-hand assistants to come over. If there is no accident, I will be able to take office next month.

Seeing the concubine coming in with a tray, she thought she was here to bring him some snacks.

"It's such a hot day, just let the servant girl run for a while, why do you have to do it yourself."

He got up and took the plate, put it on the table casually, led her to sit down on the couch, and opened the folding fan to fan her.

"It's just a few steps, what's the hard work." Xu Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't you want to try it? I did it."

Yan Kejin raised an eyebrow.

He doesn't like sweets, but since the concubine made it herself, he is still willing to try it as a way of saving face.

result……

"This is……"

Seeing the expression on his face when he took a bite of the brown sugar, Xu Yin laughed.

"This is sugar. The sugarcane sent by Chenjiazhuang, I boiled it into syrup to make brown sugar cubes, how about it? The taste is not bad, right? Two hundred catties of sugarcane can be boiled to produce thirty pieces of sugar of this size."

Yan Kejin raised her eyebrows, her princess has been silent for the past two days, and she figured out something good again?
"Have you found the sugar cane?"

"I found it. I'm also to blame. The sugar cane I saw in the miscellaneous books before is a bit different from the actual one. They were misled by me. They obviously missed the sugar cane for a while."

Xu Yin described the skin and height of the wild sugarcane found in Chenjiazhuang in detail, and finally said:
"It can be seen that the skin of sugarcane may be different in different regions. There are green skins and purple skins. The height may not necessarily be one or two meters or three to five meters."

Yan Kejin took a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one, then called Yan Qi in and asked him to implement them.Then he got up and took a brocade box from the table.

"For me?" Xu Yin looked at him with a smile, "What is it this time?"

I have received pearls and jade from him several times before, and more than once I heard the maid who keeps the jewelry complain sweetly: the new jewelry boxes made by the old carpenter are almost out of piles.

"Open it and have a look, is it to your liking?"

Yan Kejin stuffed the brocade box into her hand and sat down next to her.

She was too hot, so he kept fanning her, but he refused to move away a little.

Xu Yin opened the brocade box, saw the contents clearly, and couldn't help but widen her almond eyes: "This is... a koi carved from jade?"

Yan Kejin laughed: "It's not artificially carved, it's a natural gem found outside the pass, the Blood Gallbladder Golden Lotus."

Blood Gallbladder Golden Lotus?Isn't that the most expensive strange stone hailed by later generations?It seems that it also contains the meaning of auspiciousness, peace and prosperity of the family and country.

"It's too expensive."

"Well, so give it to the princess."

Xu Yin met his smiling eyes, her heart trembled.

She stayed in his study for half an hour...

If it wasn't for a guard coming in to report, he would have almost lost his self-control.

Xu Yin hugged the brocade box with flushed cheeks and hurried back to the main courtyard, looking at her back, she fled in a hurry.

Yan Kejin listened to the guard's report, but her eyes locked on the delicate figure through the carved wooden window, and a pleasant smile flashed in her eyes.

Xu Yin returned to the main courtyard, patted her hot cheeks to calm herself down.

"Is the princess exposed to the sun?" Mammy asked someone to fetch a basin of water.

After washing her face with cold water, Xu Yin calmed down.

She kept the Blood Gallbladder Golden Lotus herself, and didn't let the servant girl take it to the warehouse.

Home country is peaceful, rich and prosperous, and it will definitely come true in my lifetime!
Grip!

There are a lot of sugar cane, she wants to try white granulated sugar.

I don’t know if the lively koi on the "Blood Gall Golden Lotus" can bring good luck to people. I was thinking about how to make white sugar, so I was super lucky to find a free time-limited book in the system mall. White sugar sugar making skill book.

After reading it, I feel that it is not difficult to make white sugar, just to take off the color of brown sugar.

There are two kinds of decolorization methods written in the skill book: yellow mud water leaching method and activated carbon decolorization.

In order to save costs, small workshops generally adopt yellow mud water decolorization.Regular sugar factories often choose activated carbon for decolorization.

Xu Yin thinks that it's either not to do it, or to do it in a formal way.

The yellow muddy water feels dirty just thinking about it. Although the sugar water needs to be evaporated at high temperature to become white sugar after being drenched, it is still a bit irritating.

Anyway, there is a method of making activated carbon in the system mall, and the steps of burning activated carbon from coconut shells are quite simple.

Coconut shell is not a scarce material in the south, and it can be reused. Using high-temperature steam method can remove the impurities it adsorbs and restore its original activity.

Xu Yin spent 500 energy points resolutely to obtain the formula for making coconut shell activated carbon.

As soon as the boy sent by the housekeeper to collect coconut shells came back, he started to make activated carbon.

There must be a kiln for burning charcoal, which is not suitable for the house.

It just so happened that the sugarcane heads were going to be planted in the experimental field, so Xu Yin sent someone to pull a carriage of coconut shells to the farm.

There is a small hill behind Zhuangzi, and there are lychees planted on the hill, which also belongs to the Wangfu.

After discussing with Uncle Wang, Xu Yin chose a leeward place near the river bank at the foot of the mountain, and ordered someone to build a kiln.

For this reason, she stayed in the village for two days.

Yan Kejin didn't see her when she returned home, and when she asked, she ran to Zhuangzi to live, and rushed to Zhuangzi with a dark face that night.

"Why is the prince here?" Xu Yin was surprised when she saw him.

Yan Kejin glanced at her, snorted, and untied the button on her own.

After Xu Yin received the wink from Nanny Feng, she belatedly realized that she had made him angry by not returning to the palace for two days.

Screening off the servants, she stepped forward to unbutton him, waited for him to change into a comfortable nightgown, asked the servant girl to bring in a basin of clean water, and twisted the handkerchief to clean his face herself.

"It's my fault. I didn't tell you beforehand. Don't be angry."

Her soft-spoken apology instantly silenced the anger in his stomach.

But his face is still cold, let her know that he has calmed down so quickly, wouldn't he want to push his nose on his face in the future?
"Humph!"

Xu Yin: "..."

In fact, I could tell he was pissed off.

After the two got acquainted, they knew each other's small actions and tempers well, and they could roughly tell them apart.

I knew he was just awkward, like a child throwing a tantrum and needing to be coaxed.

"Okay, don't be angry, have you eaten dinner yet?"

This question, yes!It stoked the fire of man again.

He went back home hungry and wanted to have dinner with her, but it was better for her to eat and sleep well in the village.

"Do you have a heart?" He pulled her into his arms, clearly gnashing his teeth and wanting to bite her, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Yes, yes." Xu Yin raised her head, held his face in both hands, and coaxed, "I'll make you a bowl of sour noodle soup, okay? Uncle Wang's sour soup tastes very good. I'll keep you wanting to eat it once... "

"No." He took off her clothes.

"..." Wait, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Yeah." But he could bear it.

"..."
